- SubT 5 3 x 1.5 km (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:12-18
-- cool down
done on a paved trail near my parents' house, a branch of the one i usually run on. it was covered in leaves so pretty slippery. this was objectively not taxing, HR peaked at 162 and averages were normal; pace spread is down to uphill/downhill. but subjectively it felt hard and my breathing was more labored than usual. i never have to do three steps per breath during workouts, always four or even five, but i was today on the last rep. second day in a row slower than usual, and so i cut it short. maybe the sunday workout overcook took more out of me than i thought.

yesterday

- run 56:31, 10.47 km
there we go.

today

- SubT 10 x 3" (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:04-16
-- cool down
uphill/downhill variance on the reps. felt pretty good. ran in altra vanish carbons that i bought off a guy on reddit whom they didn't fit. much firmer than the adidas shoes i usually run in but i didn't hate them. lower drop (4mm) noticeable but not uncomfortable. will be interesting to see how my calves feel tomorrow. the toe box volume isn't great, surprisingly - big toenails were touching the fabric - so i'd never run a marathon in them. but for a workout like this that was okay. if nothing feels off tomorrow then i might just keep them in the mix for workouts.

the baby has not let us sleep the last couple nights.

yesterday

- run 55:58, 10.41 km
felt good, left achilles and left hamstring a little tight for the first few minutes but warmed up.

today

- long run w/ SubT 3 x 2.5 km (60")
-- intervals @ 4:17,15,17
-- total 1:36:28, 19.36 km
HR never went over 158. deliberately ran the final rep conservatively but could have gotten away with doing a bit harder today.

very, very tired. had a low grade migraine from yesterday into this morning but it went away after another sumatriptan and a nap. baby reign of sleep torture continues. last two nights have been rough. hasn't shown up in the running yet, though.

got flu and covid shots yesterday. went out the door for my run this afternoon, got the end of the block, and noped out. i don't feel too terrible but body is just off. discretion is the better part of valor.

brutal migraine started around 1 AM, also baby was whale-tailing constantly. no sleep. i threw up copiously around 4:30 AM. first time puking from a migraine in like 18 months. headache faded gradually throughout the day but i have been very depleted. needless to say, i did not even try to run. headache coming back a little now but hopefully it's just the postdrome bump and i'll be able to sleep tonight.

quasi-solo*-parenting a baby while suffering a migraine: very hard. it ended up lasting two full days. i seem to be in the clear this morning, and i slept okay all things considered. looking forward to my workout later.

*my wife is at home but back to working full time, and also she's pumping breast milk off and on all day, which limits her ability to do other things. she helped as much as she could while i was down for the count but i still ended up white-knuckling many hours of babycare.

uphill/headwind combo was back, quite blustery today. made it chilly. didn't need gloves or anything but i was thinking about them for the first five minutes out the door. so nice to be back out on my feet, nothing like being sick to make you appreciate being well.
